How to Differentiate the former 2028 XILION Rose from the new 2038 XILION Rose?

This new innovative Flat Back features a new mirror made of real silver (A HF), which is unique in the market. This real silver mirror creates a warmer, brighter, diamond-like appearance, producing a more intense and livelier look to all the crystal colors.

You can distinguish the new 2038 from the former 2028 flatback as the new has the rose gold on the reverse side. This is distinctive only to the 2038 XILION Rose and aids to authenticate that it is a genuine SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS product with a real silver mirror.

Swarovski Flat Backs - General Information

Even though, in Swarovski lexicon, the term is "Flat Back", it seems that most people will more frequently spell it as "flatback" (one word). Therefore I will use both terms interchangeably, to mean the same thing.

Swarovski Flat Backs are loose crystal elements with a flat reverse side.

Generally, flatbacks with no Hotfix on the reverse, have an exclusive Swarovski Platinum Foiling (F) to create maximum brilliance.

Flatbacks with Hotfix will usually have an aluminium mirror finish on the reverse side as well as a pre-coating of heat sensitive glue. These are heat-applied (e.g. ironing on) to a wide range of carrier materials. They are durable and long lasting.

See more details on Foiling, How to iron on, with Recommended Heat Temperatures.
